SiriusXM To Give 'Opie And Jim' A Go

Gregg “Opie” Hughes Tweets he'll be back on SiriusXM July 14 to continue a daily show on SiriusXM.

Opie Tweeted he had a long talk with suits at SiriusXM and it Looks like he'll will partner with comic Jim Norton.


Opie's longtime partner Anthony Cumia was fired on July 3 after a series of Tweets deemed racist and vulgar by SiriusXM management.

Speaking Cumia, he confirms in a piece published at The Wire that he is preparing to forge ahead with his "Live from the Compound Show" -- an online program that will require a subscription fee (though he admits that amount has not been determined).

In the piece, Cumia also says he understands that Hughes and Norton are under contract through October so calls from fans for the two to quit in a movement of solidarity with him are unreasonable.
